Frightened Soul

Felix's skin had lost a lot, but his exposed red muscles were not gnawed by these bugs.

But this severe pain caused Felix's muscles to twitch continuously.

Like being skinned, the only part of Felix that was not gnawed by the bugs was his head.

Raymond watched as these tiny bugs quickly multiplied on Felix's body. Soon even his bright red muscles began to be gnawed by these bugs.

The shrill screams were incessant, and even the hissing conversations of the fishmen could not drown out these screams. But before Raymond could think about anything else, a shadow had appeared in his vision.

Long white hair, a face that was once pretty but now frozen like frost. Raymond hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the fishman in front of him clearly.

This was an elderly fishman, but in her bony hands she held a tray. In the small silver bowl on the tray were those tiny bugs.

Carefully lifting the silver bowl, the old fishman was about to pour the bugs in the small bowl onto Raymond.

Seeing this, Raymond ordered the chip without hesitation, "Play all the languages that can be parsed!"

Following Raymond's order, the chip immediately took over Raymond's vocal cords and made a hissing sound from Raymond's throat.

The altered hissing sound, although a little messy and stuttering, still frightened the old fishman holding the silver bowl. She stared wide-eyed, and the small bowl in her hands fell to the ground.

"Parsing resolution 37%, complete parsing will take 2 hours..." Following the chip's rapid feedback on the progress of the parsing task, Raymond also understood that he had to get through these two hours!

Hearing the horrified hissing sound from the mouth of this elderly fishman, Raymond, who had raised his neck and opened his eyes, also saw Felix's situation.

His muscles were full of holes, and the skin and muscles below his chest had completely disappeared. Only a thin membrane remained in the entire abdomen. The still writhing internal organs were clearly visible.

Raymond was also suspended in midair. Below his feet was a circular platform. The jade-like stone slab was engraved with strange patterns, like aggregates of triangles and ellipses. But on this altar-like high platform, there were faint energy fluctuations, as if a formation was operating.

Right in front of Raymond was a long red carpeted passage. At the end of the passage was an exquisitely high throne, on which sat a young fishman with a human upper body and a fish tail.

On either side of this young fishman were four fishmen similar to her but older. Their half-naked upper bodies only had two small shells on their chests, and their lower bodies covered with fine fish scales were covered with thin gauze. They supported their whole bodies with tail fins and stood like humans.

Because of the sudden hissing sound from Raymond's throat, the fishmen who were talking were all shocked.

Seeing the results of this random hissing sound and witnessing the fishmen's surprise and confusion, Raymond stopped making a sound. Felix, hanging beside him, let out a pleading cry after a moment of stunned, "Save, save me..."

Frowning, Raymond glanced at him indifferently and focused all his attention on the chip's parsing.

Raymond's eyes flickered with red dots as he watched the language translation refresh rapidly in his vision. He quickly selected syllables that could form sentences and had the chip form the fishmen's language by controlling his throat muscles.

"Can we, communicate?" Raymond stuttered a complete sentence in a hissing tone with apprehension.

The hissing sounds intensified, and the fishmen under the throne cried out in astonishment. They looked at Raymond with shocked eyes, all horrified.

The fishmen facing Raymond made rustling sounds as they gathered together. Even the young fishman who had been sitting on the throne was so shocked that she stood up from the throne. She pointed at Raymond with her slender fingers and immediately began to communicate with the fishmen on both sides of the red carpet.

Anxiously waiting for the chip to parse the language, Raymond did not speak again. He saw the fishman who had cleaned up the overturned small bowl hurriedly leave with a look of horror. Raymond finally felt relieved.

Although anxious, the chip's parsing progress was still slow. But with the chip's efforts to continue receiving new fishman vocabulary, countless syllables available for analysis were gradually parsed and appeared in the catalog available for Raymond's use.

As time slowly passed, the noisy and chaotic hissing sounds gathered near the throne, the chip also synchronized and directly converted the translatable parts into text, displaying them in Raymond's vision.

"Humans... shameless...dangerous, untrustworthy...race..."

Seeing these scattered syllables translated, the chip's progress bar for parsing the fishman language was also moving rapidly, and the gradually increasing percentage showed that the parsing speed was also increasing.

"Three years, move...price, disaster..."

Some words and sentences spoken by the communicating fishmen made Raymond frown. Although the parsing of the fishman language was less than half done, guessing and guessing also allowed Raymond to understand some of the situation.

These fishmen seemed to have appeared here after suffering a disaster. Their impression of humans was cunning, treacherous and untrustworthy.

The young fishman standing on the high platform was called the "Queen" by all the fishmen. At first, there was excitement on her delicate face, but the fishmen gathered under the throne were all persuading her to give up communicating with humans and let the ongoing blood sacrifice continue.

Raymond kept an eye on this young fishman queen, but time was still passing second by second. However, during the fishmen's communication, several key syllables were still unable to be decrypted by the chip.

Frowning, Raymond looked at the young fishman standing on the edge of the throne. Her became hesitant.Her pretty eyes kept looking at this side of the altar, but she no longer spoke. Instead, she listened carefully to the persuasion of the other fishmen. Her thoughtful expression showed that she was about to make a final decision....
